The other movie from 2012 that I
thought was underrated was David Koepp's "Premium Rush," which stars
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a New York City bike messenger. Sure the
dialogue isn't superb and the tone is sometimes off, but this is a
really fun and exciting B-Movie. It had me on the edge of my seat
throughout its short 90min running time. In fact, I would say it was my
favorite screenplay out of all the 2012 movies I saw. The story unfolds
in a very simple and efficient manner. I suspect that given the way the
movie's arc is structured, the script would have received an "A" in any
film school worth its salt. Michael Shannon is also a great "bad guy"
who isn't completely one-dimensional.
